This week's challenge over at Whoopsi Daisy is "Pastels". I used a sweet pre-colored image from sheet 541 and some papers from Create With TLC. I added lace and ribbon and some flowers and gems. I used oval dies and a square die.

Today I have two weddings. I am performing one of them (as the wedding officiant) and attending the other as my husband's date (it is his co-worker's wedding). I figured I should at least make a card for the wedding I'm attending as a guest. This may be the first time I've used this Kenny K image called Wedding Dance. I have several wedding images so what I did was add as many as I have onto a spread sheet so my husband could see them all and this is the one HE picked for me to use (I don't know the couple and didn't have a clue). It is sort of funny, the image and the layout pretty much do not go well together...it is a romantic lay out and a humorous image...I think that is part of what makes it so perfect! haha!!

I used two different stips of lace and some ribbon. The "sentiment" is from Making Memories' vintage metal combo set. I added a couple of butterfly dies and some roses. I did some stitching around the image and around the first square. I colored his suite and their hair using Prismacolor pencils, their skin tones using promarkers and her crown was colored using a glitter gel pen. I added some Frosted Lace stickles onto her dress rather than coloring it. This was so fun to make!! Sure hope they like it!

This week over at Incy Wincy we are being sponsored by Scribbles Designs. Our theme is "Things With Wings". I used two adorable images called Frank and Farah. I layered this card completely digitally. I did hand color the images.

It has been a while since I've used one of these fantastic Kenny K images just because. Tonight I was thinking I'd like to do one to match the KK challenges (use brown). I pulled out this fun pre-colored KK image called Scarlett West. The sentiment is from Create With TLC
...on a side note...(we are doing a blog hop right now for Create With TLC for Paulette's get well soon - you can find my post HERE).
I added papers from Stampin Up, some Steampunk Gears from Green Stuff World, a clock from Tim Holtz, flowers, a pearl and a brown burlap bow. I used the sketch from this week's Sunday Sketch & Stamp challenge.

This week over at Whoopsi Daisy the challenge theme is "Summer is here". I used a sweet pre-colored image from sheet #543. The sentiment and DP are from Create With TLC. The big flower on the side was made using three different punches (the leaf one was used twice). I added lots of gems both in the middle of the flower and on three of the corners of the card.
